I recall it being some stupid regulatory thing, like "as food it needed to have a calorie label and ingredient list publicly posted" or some other shit.
But yeah Mitsukoshi's been pretty cool for a long time. iirc it's actually owned and operated by the Japanese department store and they lease the space from Disney as part of their sponsorship deal for the pavilion.

They shoehorned a black guy in Frozen 2.

Oh, and I checked the wait times via their app and I noticed one odd thing: the lines are actually fairly decent outside of Matterhorn. I wonder if it has to do with the weather? It’s cloudy today there’s a slight chance of rain too.

Nope, the lines were like that back when I went last week and it was pretty sunny (though a nice 75 degrees) all day. And Matterhorn's only 60 minutes because the riders per hour capacity was cut in half due to the fallen off plaster part (how the hell they haven't fixed that yet is beyond me).

From everything I've seen, Iger is even cheaper than Eisner. No, cheap isn't the word I use, more like miserly. He does the cheapest thing he can do to make more money without giving a shit about quality just to get richer and it's been like this for a few years and it's really getting under my skin because I want quality and care back in the parks and what they make instead of them just acquiring everything because it's cheaper to buy it all instead of paying people to make shit. At least Eisner had Euro Disney built and we got some good things out of it.

Eisner unfortunately spiraled out of control when his second in command died and then that spat with Katzenberg/Dreamworks happened. Before that, you had the Disney Renaissance.

Iger's greatest contribution to Disney was the acquisition of Pixar and Marvel. Star Wars doesn't count because while the deal seemed good on paper, we're already seeing the disasterous results of trying to let a franchise name sell itself almost litterally on the name alone because nothing in it works.

I still find it funny that they fired a lot of the entertainment at Epcot like the colonial fife and drum corps (most of whom were...Scottish, actually.) There's no way it would be that expensive to keep them around.

Of course this was around the time when WDW burned a shit ton of money on the magic band rollout and then fired their IT department so I guess they were cutting everything they possibly could.

I dunno the ins-and-outs of the park, but if the Matterhorn has been breaking down so much and is having plaster falling off to the point it's being considered a hazard, why haven't they tried to fix it? People would understand it being closed for renovation, but would the rest of the park get affected by longer lines as a result and they just don't want to "risk" that out of fear for unhappy customers? And if they have tried to fix it up but this shit keeps happening, this ride is then just an accident waiting to happen--and I think it has been the source of some terrible accidents in the past. Do they really enjoy getting sued for this and settling it out of court?

Yeah, no maintenance means no extra revenue into his pockets through the shell maintenance companies.

If Walt was around, he wouldn't have cut corners with Galaxy's Edge if he was forced to build it - and he certainly wouldn't have built it. I mean, why the fuck build a completely new sci-fi land when you already have Tomorrowland (which as I previously pointed out is already 75% Star Wars since the only non-Star Wars themed ride right now at Disneyland is Astro Blasters).

Well Kiwis I have no idea what you're talking about regarding how quiet it's supposed to have been, because the park was absolutely mobbed. Millennium Falcon Smuggler's Run actually had an unfinished backstage area open as a line extension because there were so many people (although the line moved well enough). The Matterhorn had a wait time of almost an hour and a half, when I've known previously to practically be a walk-on on a busy day with both Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Space Mountain closed. I'm utterly exhausted so I'll do a more detailed report on another day when I'm not too busy doing other vacation shit.
